lyrics

With wood and glue and clamps and clips
He builds his model rocket ships
Then scans his father’s paper while they dry
He cuts stories out of stoic men
Shepard, Cooper, Grissom, Glenn
The newspapers proclaiming then
The moon be still as bright

A refrigerator packing crate
He christens it Apollo Eight
His dad fits it with gauges, ports and lights
His best friends at the library
Heinlein, Clarke and Bradbury
Portray the worlds he’ll one day see
And the moon be still as bright

And he dreams of mammoth spinning stations
Circling Earth and Mars
And gleaming ships serve destinations
In the distant stars……

(break)

Tonight I sit in my back yard
Pondering the moon and Mars
And how we gave them up without a fight
But somewhere in the world tonight
There are ships and rockets taking flight
If only in one child’s sight
The moon be still as bright
